This has been a wonderful experience! I have been doing zoom video sessions with a personal therapist (Anita Webster) as well as couple therapy (Tiffany Chen) and it has been wonderful to not have to drive over an hour for an appointment. Even more importantly, both therapists are so wonderful! I highly recommend them both!!
Thank you Thriveworks for providing such great customer care and great therapists! Keep up the good work!

I love the format of tele health in the evening. At a time where it's so challenging to find psychiatrists, Thriveworks has been so easy to work with. And Ericka is lovely; easy to work with, easy to talk to, trustworthy, and very helpful.

I am loving Thriveworks not only for the convenience of virtual appointments, but this is the first place I’ve tried that has actually helped. My therapist is incredibly kind and helpful and is amazing at helping me with any issues I’m struggling with. They paired me with a therapist that is experienced in the specific areas I needed help with, and it has been wonderful. I would absolutely recommend Thriveworks!
